SAFETY-PIN FOR BROOCHES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 386,194, dated July 17, 1888.

(No model.)

To (LZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, JOSEPH FRIEDBERGER, of Landsberg-on-the-Lech, Bavaria, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improve- 5 ments in Safety-Pins for Brooches, of which the following is a specification.

Hy invention relates to an improvement in brooch fasteners or holders, of which a full and clear description will be given hereinafter.

My invention consists ot'having two grooved pins arranged to operate on the same horizontal alignment and adapted to be locked by means of a spring tip forming a part of the brooch. all of which will be more fully ex- {5 plained hereinafter.

' In the drawings, Figure 1. represents a rear elevation of the brooch and showing the pins closed; Fig. 2, a similar View showing the pins open. Fig. 3 shows the pins half-open. 20 Figs. 4, 5, and 6' are enlarged detached views. Fig. 7 represents a cross section taken on line of Fig. 6.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.

(t represents the main body of the brooch, provided with guides M M, having catches c (l integral therewith, both of the latter adapted to engage with the grooves 0 andp of the pins N N and to engage with the catch 30 or proj ectionf when locked. Thelower groove,

p, does not extend the full length of the pins N N, thus preventing the pins NN' from being drawn entirely out, the operation of which may be clearly seen on the drawings.

The safetypin mostly used at present is the lever springpin. In using them one has to put the point of the pin either in ortake it out of the clasp with the fingers, whereby often bodily harm isdone. Beside this,garments,especially ladies garments, are often damaged by the point of the pin, which mostly reaches somewhat over the clasp. To do away with these imperfections, I use in my invention two pins. which are pushed with their points horizontal against each other, and which are provided on their outer ends with small knobs It to secure an easy and safe handling.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a safety-pin for brooches, the combination consisting of the main body of the brooch, provided with two depending guides, each having catches integral therewith, and the two pins provided with grooves engaging said J OS EPH FR l EDBERG ER.
